Ok… where or how or who else am I suppose to seek answers from?...
For context I’m in the US. The last time I used YouTube without an ad blocker, there were 2 ads back to back, and way too frequently. I tried watching on my PlayStation tonight, and not only are they more frequent, they’ve increased in quantity by 150%. It’s also very common for the last ad to last 2 minutes to over an...
I needed to reinstall Firefox on this computer, so I started up Chrome to download the latest version and it blocked the download as unsafe! I had to manually tell it to download anyway....
Since I had my brand new 65" OLED, a HUGE pain point has been the 2 giant black bars for almost EVERY movie that is worth watching on such a screen in the first place....
Why are there such idiotic smart TVs that can’t even turn off bluetooth?!...
these guys used to be daring adventurers with goggles and swag and now the pilots have to wear a button down and the airlines squeeze every penny out of you and every drop of fun or joy or magic or adventure out of the experience....
I was just browsing the Google Play Store and I am getting frustrated seeing games being tagged with the genre, but aren’t actually simulating anything. E.g. Idle Miner/Mining Tycoon (can’t remember name). Nothing in the game is accurate or even tries to represent real life. It even has cartoon graphics. Now I’m not...
I know this is old news for most of us, but it’s something I had just forgotten to get around too. Filtered out Elon musk and X posts. I don’t care about any of it, and tired of seeing every seemingly 5th posts being about it....
Just rage canceled Paramount+ after seeing the 1 minute of unstoppable ads before each episode....
Infuriating to think that all these places can sell products with a 50% discount and still make money. The rest of the time how much are they raking in? But we are all scraping by and gotta do what we gotta do. Thanks for letting me vent.
what the fuck could you POSSIBLY want from me you fucking moron? a fucking dog has better manners and sense, you fucking dunce
Nothing is making the itching stop. The worst part is that the left side of my leg has nerve damage and is slightly numb from where a screw was put in, and the sensation extends to my knee. The feeling is very strange. Thankfully it’s only the left side of my leg. The right side, that had the more extensive hardware put in, (2...

yet they’re still priced and treated culturally like luxury toys
you always have to manage a million different cables for each one, and they all suck. why can’t we just use AAA batteries instead of these shitty lithium ones? it’s so fucking frustrating. where can I find gadgets that work while plugged in, or at least don’t need to be recharged every two fucking days?
Friend gave me access to his Adobe account (I’m never giving Adobe money again), and it looks like they don’t even support Firefox. That means I’m not using even the one remaining browser-based Adobe service that’s left....
I am 23 and I am currently in the dating scene. I’ve had no success and I’ve had the fourth person lose all interest in between setting up the date and the long wait between the date. It typically goes match on dating site, set up date, try to get to know each other over snap and then interest lost. I do tend to respond...
Artifact has a feature where it will rewrite what it determines to be “clickbaity” headlines. It’s kind of a cool feature but it doesn’t always work. This one had me scratching my head for a minute until I realized what was going on....
A Windows pop up, right above the system tray. Holy fuck. I would have screen shot it but I was in disbelief.
I’ve been posting in the meme communities in Lemmy for a few months now. For the most part, if I make some silly meme about how broke I am or how bad American healthcare is, it doesn’t get removed and the meme does well. But I’ve had several memes get removed that I was pretty sure don’t violate the rules of the instance...
Not even speaking about all the ads in the default YouTube app without a subscription....
I’ve gotten a total of 12 hours of sleep in a week because he keeps me up. He’s a beagle, so his screams are the loudest thing on the planet....
